Love and hate search results

I read I love Google search results… OS X trails Linux and I am not satisfied with the search method. For example, I love Suse gives 408,000 results on google.com. On the German google.de website the first result for this search is WINE I love you on the openSUSE Forums. To reduce these false results, I searched the whole string in quotation marks. But is number of lovers a good indicator? No. Therefore I compare the number of lovers with the number of haters. Here are my results (searched on google.com).

BTW, there are no Edubuntu haters. I love GNOME, but where are all the GNOME lovers?

I expect that people love Gnome because it stays out of the way. It is not an in-your-face & in-your-space system. Gnome does its job and stays out of the way. It does not inspire love — you don’t even know it is there. That is why we Gnome-users love it so much.

I have also never said how much I love “alt ~” switching between active windows of the same application, as it is so good and so simple.
